Incendies

The search began at the opening of their mother's will.

A harrowing, intellectually demanding investigation into family trauma and the cyclical nature of violence, anchored by a mother's devastating secrets and her children's painful reckoning with inherited hatred.

A mother's last wishes send twins Jeanne and Simon on a journey to Middle East in search of their tangled roots. Adapted from Wajdi Mouawad's acclaimed play, Incendies tells the powerful and moving tale of two young adults' voyage to the core of deep-rooted hatred, never-ending wars and enduring love.
